gollark: SQLite is a database, just an embedded one.
gollark: I'm going to look into making Node.js use multiple *processes*, and putting SQLite in WAL mode so that it can do multiple reads at once.
gollark: It's SQLite and the application is Node.js. Both of which are totally single-threaded. Which is probably why.
gollark: I put together this simple search engine thing (https://search.osmarks.tk) as a fun project to try and practice building somewhat complex applications. It seemed to work fine on the test dataset of my website. But then I got bored and decided to have it crawl esolangs.org, and it's about a 14th of the way through after running for maybe an hour (at 1 page crawled/second), queries are running quite slowly, and the lack of pagination is causing problems. I guess this is a lesson in scaling?
gollark: Shadowbans by themselves are quite evil.
